Ideal for weekend escapes and short business trips, this vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram Keepall 55 Bandoulière brings timeless polish to your journey. In very good condition, it complements smart or casual looks and elevates every departure from city commutes to countryside stays.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Keepall Bandoulière 55? A: With approximate measurements of 55 × 31 × 24 cm, it comfortably holds several changes of clothes, a pair of shoes, toiletries, and travel tech. It’s a classic weekender for 2–5 day trips. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the Keepall Bandoulière 55 carry‑on compliant? A: The 55 size is widely regarded as cabin‑friendly and is described by Louis Vuitton as a cabin‑size bag. Airline limits vary by carrier and aircraft, so we recommend checking your specific airline’s rules before travelling.
Q: Can it be worn cross‑body? A: Yes. The Bandoulière version includes a removable, adjustable shoulder strap designed for shoulder or cross‑body wear. Fit and comfort will depend on how you adjust the strap and your build.
Q: What is the difference between the Keepall and the Keepall Bandoulière? A: Both share the same silhouette and capacity. The Bandoulière adds strap attachments and a detachable shoulder strap for hands‑free carry, whereas the classic Keepall is hand‑held only.
Q: What does the date code VI0937 mean? A: VI denotes a French workshop. For codes used from 1990–2006, the 1st and 3rd digits indicate the month and the 2nd and 4th digits indicate the year. Therefore, 0 and 3 = March, and 9 and 7 = 1997, so this piece was made in France in March 1997. Date codes are not unique serial numbers and should be considered alongside other authentication markers.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As listed under product information, this piece includes a detachable shoulder strap, a luggage tag, and a handle holder. If an item such as a padlock or dust bag is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What materials is it made from and how do they age? A: Monogram coated canvas is light and hard‑wearing. The trim is natural Vachetta leather, which develops a warm patina with use and can show watermarks or scuffs—typical characteristics of vintage Louis Vuitton.
Q: How should I care for it? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Keep Vachetta leather dry and away from oils, alcohol‑based products and direct heat; avoid attempting to clean fresh stains on pale Vachetta and allow the leather to darken naturally. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, out of direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: Very good overall. The Vachetta leather has a light patina with a few watermarks, the interior shows a small stain, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for full details.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Each piece is rigorously inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and can share further details on request.
